Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist and transplant surgeon,i can understand your anxiety.
Your father has end stage kidney failure,which can be treated with dialysis or a kidney transplant.Anemia is usual in CKD and low blood level, is treated with a packed cell transfusion,erythropoietin injection,and oral iron tablets.
His Hb,creatinine,FBS,A1C,LFT,platelets,and Na,K,is done with 3 days gap.
His Hb,sugar,creatinine and electrloytes must be under strict control.
If you've any doubts,send all the reports to me,as a direct question.
